"Okay, bold!" Maktoum clapped his hands and exclaimed, "We have the same idea!" Dubai used to be full of oil, but it will be extracted in 2010. We build ports, focus on commerce, develop real estate, and invest in tourism so that the people of Dubai can continue to live with dignity and the history of deep-sea pearling will not be repeated. The Cyber City project will give birth to the hope of Dubai's future.

In many countries in the Middle East, the environment does not allow people to have innovative ideas, and they can come here instead of going to Silicon Valley or whatever. Our main goal is to make Dubai Cyber City a magnetic field that will attract companies in the information industry and innovative minds in the region. ”

"The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny." Chen Bo poured a scoop of cold water on his head, and then said, "I can completely understand His Highness's urgency, but why is it that two years have passed, and most of the companies that signed the contract at the beginning are not moving?" And why isn't there an office building that can be moved in immediately? Isn't it weird to have the beautiful Palm Jumeirah next door to the ruins of the aftermath of the war? ”

The sycophants just now were just appetizers, and now it's the pressure of the whole thing, what you need, what I have, I have to put it on the table and talk about it.

"What do you think?" Maktoum groaned slightly, and said.

"It's more appropriate to call it a science and technology city than a cyber city. The web is just the most basic application, and technology encompasses much more. Chen Bo began his flickering technique, "How to keep people away from diseases, how to make the sea water water, how to make people communicate more quickly, and how to let machines understand human language and thinking are all science and technology, not something that can be summarized by a network." Others think that Ant Search is a network company, but in fact, we are a data company and a technology company. ”

"How do you explain it?" Both Maktoum and Suleiman were in high spirits.

"In the future, any business will develop to the extreme, we obtain user data through the Internet, in-depth analysis, mining data will know what you want, what you need. What kind of robots do factories need, how can banks effectively avoid the risk of bad debts, which styles and fabrics do consumers prefer. can be achieved through our technology, which is also a science and technology. ”

"That's amazing!"

"Of course, the Ant Maps business will be launched soon, and I plan to develop a data collection vehicle that can shoot 360-degree street scenes, and walk along the streets of Dubai, and import all the photos I get into the database. All users around the world can see the beautiful scenery of Dubai with the click of a mouse, and then I will push relevant travel services, they can consult and place orders online, buy air tickets, book hotels, rent cars, and the whole process is very convenient for online operation. ”

What Chen Bo outlined in front of them was a vision plan for the future, and these functional services can be realized now, and it is not very difficult.

"The number of people from all over the world will be amazing!" Maktoum sighed.

"That's for sure, Ant Search has hundreds of millions of users around the world, and as long as they have used our services, they will record data. I can figure out where he's from, which hotel he's interested in, what dreams he wants to fulfill, and what would you be able to do if you left it to Dubai Tourism? ”

"Make a better Dubai!" Suleiman had learned to answer, and his face was extremely excited.

"But the premise is that all the technology is realized, one is inseparable from the basic office facilities, I can't let employees squat on the road to work, and the other is related talents, without employees can not be realized. This is the main reason why major companies are reluctant to come! ”

In fact, there are many reasons, such as the issue of immigration, the reason why the United States is so strong is inseparable from the "American dream" that he keeps preaching. Dubai is now just an illusory mirage, it can't withstand many setbacks, where are the core values? At the very least, give me a slogan.

"We are now very focused on education, and the University of Dubai has been recognized as an American education, with thousands of outstanding graduates every year."

"Not enough, not at all!" Chen Bo directly denied, "The development of Silicon Valley is due to the fact that there are universities such as Stanford, Berkeley, and Caltech, and tens of thousands of graduates work or start businesses in Silicon Valley every year, not to mention the outstanding students of the Ivy League." I have invested in several creative projects developed by students who are still studying this year, can this be done at the University of Dubai? Moreover, there are only more than 1,000 graduates here every year, not to mention that only a small number of them are studying computer science. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"To increase the proportion of talents, Dubai has a large population, but they are all grassroots workers. For undergraduate, master's and doctoral students, corresponding rewards can be given, what kind of benefits can be obtained for working here, or the threshold for naturalization can be appropriately lowered. ”

What is most lacking in the 21st century? Talent! Cities in China that want to devote themselves to development, who do not have their own talent incentive policies, even if they become village officials in a few years, they will have preferential treatment. In Arab countries, because of religious issues, in principle, only a woman can get naturalization if she marries a resident of her country, but what age is this, and she is still resting on her laurels. Anyway, he proposed the solution, as for the result, it depends on what Dubai does.

"Talent awards, this is a good offer!" "But Dubai is only an emirate, and it cannot unilaterally decide on the immigration issue, and I will try to find a solution." ”

"My company is ready to move in as long as there are people, and I plan to provide more services for portals and e-commerce sites in the Gulf region. There is no problem with the data center, there is no problem with the people, and the final problem is only a science and technology city that is enough to attract attention. ”

"Suleiman, an additional $200 million investment! No, $500 million!! You have to come up with a set of plans, and if you drag it out, I'll be the only one who asks!! There was some dissatisfaction in Maktoum's tone, this is not the person who disgraces him.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be in such a hurry." Chen Bo said with a smile, "Mr. Suleiman can build this Burj Al Arab and build a world island, but when it comes to facilities of this type of science and technology city, it is definitely not as professional as mine." ”

"Do you have a better way?"

"As long as you have land, I will leave the rest to operate and plan, and you can decide the loan or capital contribution." Chen Bo let out a bold statement, "In less than three years, I will give you a hope and future." ”

"The management can be handed over to you, but I must have absolute control!" Maktoum said with a glaring eye.

"As long as Chairman Suleiman can cooperate with me, what does it matter if I leave 60% of Dubai World, what I need is an office environment, and what you need is determination to show the world." Chen Bo said in one word, you don't know what technology can develop, and you don't know how much money you can make, all you care about is how much face it can give you, how many eyeballs it can attract, and then how many tourists it can bring.

But he wants to choke the Arabs by the neck, reach out to the pockets of the oil tycoons, and occupy the future of the Middle East.

After a simple discussion, Ant Search took a 20% stake in technology management, plus a net investment of $200 million accounted for 40%. And this huge amount of money was lent to him by Maktoum through the National Bank of Dubai, and Dubai World Group took 10% of the original land at the price, plus 500 million in cash, and occupied 60% of the shares.

Dubai Tech City, the future pearl of the Middle East, was born in a few words and impulsively. Other details aside, at least this cooperation is definitely not running, and it will be doubled on the basis of the original network city to meet future needs.

"By the way, the Chinese food here tastes really bad, it's not authentic. Western food is also unsatisfactory, so let's hurry up and change the chef, otherwise it will be a loss of His Highness's face. "In the end, I still haven't forgotten to complain about the Burj Al Arab

This pass is blowing, praising and ripping, although it looks simple, but it also has to be tricked everywhere.

Dragged back to the room with a tired face, and threw himself into the soft sofa unwilling to get up.

"It's not like I'm going to the gym, I'm so tired." Ivanka came over at the right time to help him rub his sore shoulders and whispered comfort.

"It's a lot more tiring to fight with people than this, but I finally succeeded." Chen Bo simply told her about the cooperation plan again.

"The efficiency is really fast, you are so optimistic about the development of Dubai."

"Not so confident." Chen Bo shook his head, "It's all a pavilion in the air, do you think that the building built and the island filled in are all paid by his chief's family?" ”

"Or else?"

"Loans, basically foreign debts from Europe and the United States, I have already checked the bottom. Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Credit Suisse, this chief spends other people's money without mercy. The current situation is not like doing tourism with heart, but doing real estate business, after all, passing on the risk to others. You, the daughter of a real estate tycoon, don't you understand the housing bubble? ”

"You mean that the city is a false prosperity built entirely on lies?"

"Pretty much, no one will check the accounts anyway, and Dubai World will not take the initiative to be transparent about its financial situation."

"So what if it collapses, what will happen to Technopolis? Will it be affected?! ”

"It's all a loan, even if you don't make money, you can pay back the remaining 40% to him. And the worse the real economy, the better it is for the Internet. Only then will they realize that the Internet can help them more, and they will be able to advertise more. ”

"Then why don't you remind him, at least he has to sell you well, and he can strengthen your relationship."

"That old man's heart is hot, he is bent on his Dubai dream, and I will pour a basin of cold water on my head, do you think he will listen to me?" Chen Bo is not so kind, maybe he can touch a few big fish while the water is muddy.

The high debt of the Dubai World Group will one day explode, this is an irreversible reality, unless the existing bad habits can be abandoned and completely secularized, after all, it is only an illusory kingdom of heaven, and the big problems of ethnicity and religion are not so easy to solve.
